(fifth miracle) BBS + video

[The camera switches on to a midshot of Mikuru, in civilian gear rather than cadet uniform or her battle waitress costume, clutching a small notepad with shaking hands. She looks kind of scared, too, but tries to perk up when she realizes the camera's recording.]

H... [She clears her throat and tries again.] Hello, everybody! [That smile's a bit better than before. Public speaking's scary, okay? Even on camera instead of in front of an audience.] I'm Mikuru, apprentice leader of the Garden Festival Committee, and I have a few announcements to make!

First, the winners of our recent date auction for the Centra orphanage: [She picks up another piece of paper and reads from it.]

  • Cocona was won by Instructor Apollo Jones
  • Goose was won by Equius Zahhak
  • Rikku was won by Zephyr
  • SeeD Shadow was won by Lieutenant Commander Quistis Trepe
  • Sokka was won by Toph
  • Sora was won by Mikur... [Mikuru's mouth drops open in shock.] I wasn't even there! I...

    [Think of the orphans, Mikuru. Think of your debut as the GFC apprentice leader! Not a good image for yourself nor the GFC. Mikuru takes a few deep breaths then continues.]

  • I won Sora! [She forces a smile.]
  • Seifer Almasy was won by Ariel
  • Maria Cyphert was won by Instructor Jason Todd
  • Vanille Dia was won by Instructor Jason Todd [Mikuru's mouth twists a bit: Not only is this guy going after the students but more than one?]
  • Tim Drake was won by Max Gibson
  • Serah Farron was won by T-- [Mikuru looks surprised, but tries again.] Terezi Pyrope
  • Instructor Dick Grayson was won by Instructor Sharpay Evans
  • David Lalonde was won by Instructor Bro Strider
  • Rose Lalonde was won by David Lalonde [Mikuru raises an eyebrow, but continues]
  • Nepeta Leijon was won by Jade Strider
  • Commander Squall Leonhart was won by Rinoa Heartilly
  • Jade Strider was won by Jade Harley
  • Grell Sutcliff was won by Marco
  • Rose Tyler was won by Terezi Pyrope
  • Damian Wayne was won by Ariel
  • Instructor Matthew Williams was won by SeeD Vriska Serket
  • Equius Zahhak was won by Tavros Nitram

    We raised almost four thousand gil for the Centra orphanage, so thank you very much for your support, everybody! We hope you enjoy your dates.

    [Page flip!]

    Also, a reminder about the Homecoming carnival and dance approaching! The carnival is on Friday, with food from the different worlds, games, and activities set up all around Garden.

    [Mikuru flips the page, puts down the pad and holds up a map for a moment:]


    [When she puts it down, she smiles, looking a little embarassed.] Don't worry if you missed that! We'll have the carnival map up on the directory, and we'll also hand out maps around the carnival.

    We'd like to thank everyone who's volunteered to run or be part of a booth so far! It's not too late to volunteer; we'll still be holding signups in the cafeteria today and tomorrow. After classes tomorrow, we'll let you know when your shift will be!

    [Page flip!]

    If you can sing, dance, play an instrument, or do anything else special, the carnival will also include a talent quest in the quad! The most talented performers as judged by the art and music appreciation instructors, Bro Strider and Sharpay Evans, will perform at the homecoming dance!

    [Mikuru flips the page over again.]

    The dance is on Saturday night in the ballroom. There we'll be voting for the Homecoming Court, so think long and hard about who you want to be your Homecoming King, Queen, Prince, and Princess! Also, each club will be represented in the Homecoming Court by a Beau and a Sweetheart, that is, one boy and one girl, so it's up to the members of all active clubs to decide amongst yourselves!

    [A new page.]

    The GFC will be meeting at 7PM for the next two nights to set up booths, decorations, props, and much more. It's a very busy time of year!

    [Mikuru flips the page and looks surprised at it before looking back up to the camera with a smile.]

    That's all for today! I hope to see you all at Homecoming!

    [She leans forward to turn the camera off.]

    (OOC: Hey GFC kids! Whether you play out helping the GFC or handwave it is totally up to you. ♥ Also, a note for talent quest participants: IC signups will be on the day but for ease of MC-ing, we're having an OOC signup thread here.)

    There isn't a limit on the number of auctions a person can bid on.

    [Should've known she'd just end up with some jerk who didn't even want to go on a date with her. Next year she'll just find some other way to help the orphans instead of wasting everyone's time standing up on stage making a fool out of herself when she should've known it was pointless and stupid!]

    I had addressed this before, in comments to a BBS post I made, and perhaps I should have made it more aware to everyone. I apologize for that. However...

    If there is a point where you absolutely do not want to continue the date, we will refund the money from the person who made the bid, and you'll be free to go. This also means that there will be less money for the orphans.

    But not before a date has started. You won't know how it goes until you try to fulfill your end of the bargain. That is, volunteering your time to help out this cause.

    In the end, the decision is yours.

    ‮Great job, Mikuru!‭

    [That's not Gakupo's guilting, that's her own sense of right talking.]

    If we need someone to MC the talent quest, anyone mind if I do it?

    Actually, you really should have thought out your actions before bidding.

    You will either need to earn the gil you overbid on, have it taken from your stipend from your sponsorship, or the person(s) you have bid on will be freed from their obligation for a date with you. Someone else can help you with the remaining gil you don't have, too.

    [He tries to read her font and quirky typing. What is that.]

    Each sponsorship provides a stipend to each cadet per quarter. It isn't much, and should cover general living expenses.

    I wonder how many people don't know about this...

    [His eyes...]

    Oh, it's plenty real.

    They understand that this isn't our world, and we can't exactly earn a living on our own here. Most of the population dislike us because they think we're some sort of...I don't even know. A Sorceress army? It's all rather ridiculous.

    We're given a small stipend so we don't have to worry about buying something we need or want. Everyone is given one.

    Perhaps loyalty to Balamb Garden? I can't think of any other reason.
